The Isle of Man College hosts its Annual Health Fayre, with the theme of ‘looking after the whole you’, on Wednesday 9th March. Students and the general public will have an opportunity to find out about healthy choices and local support agencies.
The wide range of topics to be addressed include exercise with the NSC, online safety with Manx Telecom, housing problems with homelessness charity Kemmyrk, crisis support from the Samaritans and dental hygiene from the Community Dentist. Isle of Man College catering students will provide healthy snacks and Hair and Beauty students will offer a wide range of treatments including hair braiding and cutting, Indian head massage and diamond peel. Regular yoga sessions will be held during the day.
A spokesperson for the College said; “We are delighted that such a diverse selection of local agencies will be on hand at the Fayre to provide information on topics which are of real relevance to young people in their everyday lives.”
She continued; “Contributors will present information in an easy to understand, interactive, informative and fun way. Between them they will address the full meaning of health – physical, emotional and mental well being”.
The Fayre is open to the public from 10.00 a.m to 1.00 p.m and 2.00 to 4.00 p.m. A programme of activities will be available at the College Reception. Although the Fayre is targeted at young people aged 16 plus, anyone is welcome to attend. For further information, please phone Abbie on 648254.
